In episode 84 of The TBD Podcast, Garrett sits down with Josh Frank and Justin Cournoyer, leaders of the BLVD St. Pete project. This visionary initiative aims to demolish the I-175 corridor and replace it with a boulevard that reconnects the Southside and downtown St. Petersburg. The transformation promises to turn this underutilized stretch into a vibrant, accessible space that better serves the diverse needs of St. Pete's residents. Tune in for an in-depth look at this project and other initiatives around the Tampa Bay area that are striving to better connect the cities.
